We ate outside both times, street side and the quieter back patio. Sort of rustic ambience. Food is well made.

No Ka Oi is a familiar phrase for someone like me who is from Hawaii. The immediate impression is that they have “local food” and glancing quickly at the menu at the front desk I saw the standard local dishes that indicated that they were someplace I wanted to eat. After all, I was in Huntington Beach feeling the ocean vibe. Instantly my mind started imagining the Rainbow’s Drive-in Waikiki. Sitting down at a table a friendly waiter soon approached me with a menu. Great! I’m hungry! Wanting to grind! So I looked over the menu and settled on the corned beef hash with gravy. I asked if it came with rice. Of course I did, but the waiter wasn’t sure and asked if I minded an up charge if it wasn’t. Strange, I thought. Definitely not a local food joint. Brah! Rice comes with everything! Lol! I just said no problem. Corned beef for a local boy Filipino is a must! I asked for the gravy on the side. I also ordered the pork belly char siu. Promising because it was spelled local style char siu! I’m a sucker for fatty pork! After about 20 minutes I received my order. The corned beef was interesting. Definitely not a local style corned beef plate. Maybe it is local inspired. The gravy which did not come on the side but poured all over, was a white gravy similar to what I usually see on chicken fried steak. It also came with vegetables that I typically do not see with corned beef. Not to judge, because everyone tells me that I need to eat more vegetables! Lol! Props to the restaurant, it wasn’t canned corned beef, but decent sized pieces of a side of a corned beef brisket. The reason I ask for gravy on the side is because sometimes the plate comes drowning in brown gravy. I took a few bites. It wasn’t bad but not what I am used to it came with rice. I don’t know if I got charged because I didn’t really look at the bill. I asked for box to bring my leftovers home and have it with my own rice. Japanese short grain white rice and eat the char siu in the comfort of home. Will I return? It depends on how my leftovers taste! Mahalo nui loa!

Kalua was not kalua but pulled pork. No flavor. Benedict sauce was nasty...

The restaurant is very tight. Very difficult to get into the seats and I'm not a very big person so I can't imagine what it's like for others. The service was mid saw the waitress 3 times in an hour. The food looked amazing but really lacked flavor. The eggs were cooked beautifully but the hollandaise sauce had a weird kick and tang that it shouldn't have in my opinion. The pork on my eggs Benedict was kinda dry and I didn't like the flavor, it did not go well with the dish at all. Stick to Canadian bacon for your Benedict I guess. My husband got the Moco loco the gravy was decent but the meat on this was also dry. There are better quality restaurants for the cost. I won't be returning. Maybe just for drinks, the Mai Thai was fabulous!
